It takes ninth because it is the cheapest pad here, while its specification claims 15W, records 230 volts of mains as its input and multiplies out to 2.5W.
How those 1,186 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.1 stars.

Questions people ask
Is 230 volts a problem?
It is the mains voltage, not an input: the pad runs from a USB adaptor.
So how fast is it?
Its own output fields say 2.5W; a reviewer asks for a 1A adaptor, which would give 5W.
Does it work with an iPhone?
Yes, from the XS onward, at whatever Apple allows on a Qi pad.
What are the four modes?
Different charging standards the pad will attempt by device.
Why is it ninth?
Because it is the cheapest and works, but its specification contradicts itself by a factor of six.
How many ratings does it have?
1186 at the time of collection, averaging 4.1 stars, with 61 per cent five-star and 10 per cent one-star.
